Second-hand music & instruments in Clarington typically sells for C$28 to C$1,500 (about $20 to $1,100). Where and when it was built moves the figure enormously, and buyers pay close attention to the country stamped inside. A model still made today has its price capped by the new one, while a discontinued line answers to nothing but demand.
Buying music & instruments in Clarington
Clarington is a group of older villages and small towns that were amalgamated into one municipality, so it has several distinct centres rather than a single downtown, with farmland between them and a nuclear station on the lake.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Play every note up the neck and listen for buzzing, and sight down the neck from the body to check it is straight. Look at the bridge and the area around the tuning pegs for cracks or old repairs, and try every key or valve.
Collecting it in Clarington
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Agree which of the towns you are meeting in before anything else — they are separate places several minutes apart and the municipality name alone is not enough. Driving is assumed and parking is easy.

Larger properties mean garden and outdoor equipment turns over regularly, and the rural edge brings tools and trailers into the market that a purely suburban town would not see.
Say when it was last set up or serviced, and be honest about buzzes and dead spots. Have it tuned and ready to play when the buyer arrives, and include the case if you have it, because a case is worth real money on its own. Lifts in September as lessons restart, and again after Christmas.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
